If a student athlete is talented enough to play at the college level, it is very important to become very familiar with the NCAA website at least when the student enters 8th grade, if not before. The requirements are very strict and failing to meet those requirements could deny a star athlete eligibility to play college sports and receive a scholarship.  The NCAA Eligibility website is very helpful. (www.ncaa.org ,  Go to Academics & Athletes, then click on NCAA Eligibility Center)

Home educated students must meet the same academic requirements as other students, although the documentation is a little different.  The academic requirements and other information are on the NCAA website.  However, additional questions to those on the website come up from time to time for home education students.  Because home education students have so many choices and paths to achieve their educational goals, they don’t always fit the mold for public or private school students. Therefore, the HEF has asked the following questions and answers which have been approved by the NCAA in order to provide parents more information.
